The Chettiars were instrumental in spreading the allure of Majolica tiles across India and Southeast Asia. Known for their vast network of trade across the Indian Ocean, the Chettiars not only established themselves as successful merchants but also as cultural patrons. It was through their migration and the construction of temples and havelis that Majolica tiles found their way into places like Calcutta, Rangoon, and remote villages across South India.

Purchasing Majolica tiles means owning a timeless artifact that can no longer be reproduced. With the original production of Majolica tiles long ceased, today’s market is flooded with imitations that fail to capture the true craftsmanship, vibrancy, and historical value of the originals. These fake versions, often mass-produced with inferior materials, lack the richness of colour and detail found in authentic Majolica tiles.

These are authentic tiles sourced from the Chettinad Palace in southern part of India. You can see the authentic work on the tiles in the enclosed pics. One of a kind piece and must have if you are a treasure collector!
